Islay to see a 9th distillery!
Who would have dared to hope for, given the sense of depression gripping the Islay distillery scene a mere decade and a half to two decades ago, such a resurgence of fortunes? Yet such seems to be the case, given the recent announcement that Mark Reynier and Jim McEwan of Bruichladdich are well on the road to getting the old Port Charlotte (aka: Lochindaal / Rhinns) site up and running once more. Islay whisky lives! HERE is a link to the Port Charlotte Feature Page.
The old Port Charlotte Distillery, in its original incarnation, survived for exactly 100 years before being closed down in 1929.
